England vs Namibia on June 15

It is the final match of Group B as England will take on Namibia in a key encounter in Antigua on Saturday. Defending champions England had decimated Oman in their previous game and will want to win their 2nd game of the tournament. Namibia, on the other hand, will want to end their tournament on a high with a huge win against the fancied English side. Namibia (NAM) began the T20 World Cup with a win over Oman in the Super Over. Their next match saw them outplayed by Australia before losing to Scotland. That loss knocked them out of the chance to make it to the Super 8 stages. Gerhard Erasmus will hold his head up with pride and look to take lots of positives from the campaign. England (ENG) won their match against Oman with 101 balls to spare to attain a huge win. This win not only kept them in the hunt for a place in the Super 8 stage, but also they could make it to the next phase of the tournament as the second-place team if Australia beat Scotland. 

Best economical pick – After his lone ranger effort against Australia, Gerhard Erasmus scored a fifty for Namibia in the game against Scotland. The Namibia skipper also picked 2 wickets to cap off a near perfect day on the field.

Top captains & vice captains – Phil Salt could be the batter to watch for in this encounter. The 27-year-old was in sensational form during the recently concluded Indian Premier League. Against Australia, he played a swashbuckling knock of 37 off 23 balls, hitting four fours and two sixes. If Salt gets going, Oman bowlers will be in peril. Namibia wicket-keeper Zane Green has become a key part of his national side and he has been moderately successful with the bat and the gloves during the current campaign.

Smart pick – Mark Wood could have an impact in this game. The tearaway pacer could run through batting lineups on his day. He is yet to pick up a wicket in the five overs he has bowled in the marquee event this year. However, the Oman batters aren't used to facing bowlers who can bowl as fast as Wood. The 34-year-old would be raring to go on Saturday.

Cautious Pick – Having conceded 39 runs from his 3 overs the Namibian seamer Tangeni Lungameni was taken off the attack even before he could bowl his 4th. England batters will feast on such loose bowling and the Namibians will hope that he can find his form soon.

My XI – Phil Salt (Captain), Zane Green (Vice-Captain), Gerhard Erasmus, Mark Wood, Pratik Athavale, Jos Buttler, Will Jacks, Jonny Bairstow, Moeen Ali, Harry Brook, Adil Rashid
